update:

Decided that it would be better to get rid of the ARC airbox as im going to have a hard time finding a hard piping kit that will fit with it. So sold the HKS hard piping kit.

And bought Greddy Hard piping kit, inc the intake pipes and greddy filters.

Will make up a box for it similar to something like this when i install it.

HKS GT-SS turbos bought, and HKS up-rated actuator order aswell. Also bought a boss kit so i can use my nismo steering wheel. HKS I/C piping kit has also been order

So now i am playing the waiting game... waiting for all the parts to arrived. turbos and piping should be here end nov. finger cross my track rims should be here by mid dec.

Just need to order a set of gauges and oil cooler and everything should be all ready engine wise

I have made the decision to change the timing belt, water pump and possibly oil pump too before the tune. Will add hks cam gears when i do the timing belt. Debating if i should go Std or N1 oil pump

How good are the Garrett equivalent actuators for the gt-ss/-9. Bought myself some 2860-9 and would rather use the better product, but if the Garretts are good I'll keep them.

Also what greddy kit did you go with to suit z32, standard or no AFM?

I seem to have seen better results with the HKS actuators. i've seen a few times with 'weak' generic garret ones causing boost control problems but if you already have them it seems a hassle to replace them on a hunch...

for the greddy piping kit there is a Z32 AFM specific kit. get that one. if you are using nismo afms you get the standard afm kit. and if using no afms then get either kit. as you'll have to modify a little anyway.

Very awesome to be back at the track finally, took me afew laps to get into the groove and get over my fear of the last turn (were it went very bad in my r33).

Car handle great atm, the AD08 held up good and i was overall very happy with the car. only did 14Laps in total and left early from the event as i just wanted to ease back into things.

Best time of the night was 58.6819 second, extremely happy with the time it is on pair with what i was running in my r33 (mid 58). I do think the car can go quicker, i just to get more seat time.

So now after all this i'm debating whether to just slowly improve my current setup rather than go crazy upgrades with all the parts i have collected.

Interesting thing i found that the 10/8 spring rate worked really good around the track and didn't have any issue with losing traction due to bumps or ripple strips

edit: little fun fact i was quicker than a Porsche GT3 on the night ;)

Glad it went well! :)

Next thing, buy a proper seat, you'll be amazed at how much much quicker you can go when you're held in the car properly. Of course a harness hold you into a good seat even better.

swap out the std seat for my bride zeta 3 fix back before i went however didn't get time to buy a harness, std seat belt sucks

I guess even if it took 22 pages... You've seen what everyone's been saying since the start ;)

You will have heaps more to gain just from driving it for 1-2 seasons.

I had a chat with the owner of a very quick r32 gtr that night, he had won alot of events and it scared me the amount of money he was talking to make his gtr that winning combination. However it was interesting to get alot of hints and tips from a fellow gtr owner. Very interested in recommend that i go the i.k forumal lower arms if i wanted max camber (he said he was running -5 degree at one stage with that gear)

what track are we talking about?:

Barbagallo Raceway Wanneroo

Chris knows his stuff & you can't argue with his lap speed - you will need to find five & a half seconds to match him!

For what it is worth the static camber has to be thought of in combination with the spring rate & sway bar stiffness. Having said that the more -ve camber you chuck at the front of an R32 around Wanneroo the more they appear to enjoy it.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
